History Dimitri Nikolaïevitch TIKHOBRAZOFF (1886-1974) was born on June 23, 1986 in Malinov in Russia where he had a brilliant career as a colonel of the general staff during the war. He graduated from the Kiev Cadet Corps, the Mikhailovsky Artillery School and the Nikolaev Military Academy in 1913. In 1917, he became a state officer, deputy major for missions in the General Quartermaster's Directorate with the rank of supreme commander-in-chief. In 1920 he was appointed colonel and head of the Department of Foreign Missions in the headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. That same year, he fell ill and left for Constantinople. He then emigrated to Cannes where he worked at the Crédit Lyonnais before passing away on December 20, 1974. Villa Le Toit in Mandelieu La Napoule Dimitri Stelletsky lived in Paris until 1918 before moving to the South of France and settling in Cannes from 1918 to 1927 then in Mandelieu La Napoule from 1927 to 1944. In 1929, he he acquires in Mandelieu La Napoule, on the heights of the Esterel, a small plot of land of 460 m2 on which he will build himself a small house-workshop, which he will name simply Le Toit. Today destroyed, his house was painted inside with frescoes inspired by Russian bylines, now known thanks to photographs where we see Stelletsky sitting in an armchair in the middle of his works and frescoes.
